Let's see those fake HDR's!

[FunkyBuddha]

^ Thanks Funky. The process really isn't that difficult. I'll start with one pic and take it into PhotoshopCS2, once in there I'll save it as 1. I'll use the same pic that's already open and go to Image > Adjustments > Exposure and either adjust it (just the exposure) up or down. All I do is look and see where I get the best detail for either the higher or lower the exposure. Once I get that set I'll save that as 2. Close that pic out and reopen the original pic you started with. Go back to your exposure adjustment and do the opposite as the previous step. If you adjusted up first, adjust down and vice versa. Save that as your number 3. I've only experimented with three different exposure settings right now, you can use more. I then open up Photomatrix Pro 2.4.1 and go up to HDR at the top and under there will be Generate. Browse to where you saved your pics and pick the three (or however many) you used. Once it generates I go back up to HDR and pick Tone Mapping. Adjust till you see what you like.

Ooh..ok that's what I do already. I thought you were doing something different actually. Thanks for the reply though..someone else will find it very useful I'm sure. hehe.

Not a problem. I hope someone does find it useful, it really isn't that difficult.

^^ He should clean up the interior before something hits or cuts him open in an accident.

At first I thought there was dried mud on the front of the lambo. I was like, who keeps dirt on their lambo.
